Yes, this is a follow-up error to some INI file parsing warning or error
(scroll up in the message window) because if you specified a non-existing
INI file or an incorrect command-line, POV-Ray will ignore all settings and
use the built-in defaults for everything (it should stop, but beta 4 doesn't
do that yet). If it did eat the command-line (that is, it issued no errors
or warnings), then the command-line/INI file settings that did exist will
override the corresponding dialog settings.

With a few exceptions, I should have mentioned: Include pathes set will be
honored, as will the selection between QuickTime Movie and Pict output as
long as the output format is "s" (sys). Both of these are intentional. The
pathes are very important because there is no "povray.ini" being read, so
there is no way to have default pathes other than those set in the prefs.
The selection between movie and image output is done in the platform
specific part, as far as POV-Ray is concerned it is outputting individual
images, and as such there is no option to select either in an INI file
anyway. Thus, QuickTime compression settings are also applied when set
because that nothing controllable via INI files either.
Further, in beta 4 the preview display will remain off if it was off in the
dialog, which will be changed to honor the cmdline/INI display setting in
the next beta.
